Justed dropped/people flashing me!!
No, not that kind of flashing
I just put on S-techs and I took it out tonight. I had a few people flash their high beams at me. The front does seem like its higher than the back, but it could be all in my head. Does it take awhile for the front to settle? I just don't understand why my lights would even point up at all. Even if the back is a little lower, the front is still lower than stock. Anyone else heard of this?

What I found was the ride was a little bumpier when I got my ride lowered. This caused some inadvertant flashing of people who in turn flashed their lights at me..............

You should have taken before and after measurements of the ride height F/R. Then you would know for sure if the nose is up higher after the drop. I would say just re-aim your headlight after dark. Flashing should cease.

I put some mileage on them the other day. It seems to have evened out. I drove at night last night and no flashing. They must have settled in. Wasn't much traffic either though. I'll just see what happens through out the week. Could have been just a fluke thing. I should have took some before and after measurements, but I was just too excited to get them on.

I hear ya on that. Take measurements now. I measure from the edge of the wheelwell to the ground. My front is about 3/4 inch lower than the rear if that helps.
